A new renewables hub has been announced to establish the north-east’s “deep water offshore wind specialism” and create supply chain jobs.
The North East Wind Cluster will be led by EDP Renewables, developer of two proposed Moray Firth windfarms, and SSE, which is behind the giant Beatrice project.
Dan Finch, managing director of Moray Offshore Renewables, unveiled the plans yesterday during an Aberdeen supply chain event organised by Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and the Offshore Wind Industry Council.
